Welcome to Talking Giant's Player Profiles and Projections and today we are looking

at Josh Azudu, 6 foot 4, 3 into 25 pounds, 24 years old when the season starts. Was this

67th overall picked from the 3rd round and last season's draft. Justin Lashy, he allowed

3 sacks, 4 hits and 8 pressures and essentially is 5 full games. 3rd was past plucking efficiency

in the NFL for guards, worth out of the 10 rookie guards. The good news for him, Justin is

all the rookie goods were bad and he was always going to be a guy who I thought would struggle

year one. Yeah and I think the most important part about Josh Azudu's season is there was a

trajectory of it started at the bottom and then he kind of went up from there and it was just so

unfortunate that he did get that neck injury that inevitably ended his season because I thought

he was at a point where he was improving week to week and his hands were looking better and we

were able to see his really good athleticism finally getting paired with somewhat decent technique

where it was not a disaster compared to the start. Yeah it was still bad though like if you look

at those first six games where you played is like you have two sacks and two pressures and 32

sacks which is you know one bad snap every 8 sacks and the four games that he'd like played in

the Jags game and then started the other three gave the sack 4 hits and 6 pressures. So not as

many you know is a bad play once every 11 sacks but it was more pressures and less sacks

and there too. So there were still bad reps but I didn't it wasn't like what was better

is like it wasn't consistently bad every single rep where those first five games that you're

every time there's on the field it was just like this is very bad pass blogging. Which now with that

injury you know which now with that injury we're now looking at you know Josh Azudu not having

an offseason where he can improve on technical aspects of his game where you know spending an

offseason where your main focus is making sure that your health is in the right spot and now we're
